Established on Sanibel Island in 1986, Adventures in Paradise Cruises hopes to bring you our love of the sea - dolphins, manatee, sea otters, seahorses and shelling throughout the waters surrounding Sanibel & Captiva Islands! Cruise with us for fishing, shelling and lunch excursions, sealife encounters, dolphin cruises in the morning,afternoon and at sunset.

Went on the thanksgiving sunset tour and it was wonderful!
We were not only treated to a nice piece of pumpkin pie, but also to a great dolphin show! Lots of them stayed near the boat, everybody was quiet and you could hear the dolpins breathe while the sun went down, magical!

The sunset dolphin cruise was very good and well worth the money. We saw many dolphin and several right by the boat, even saw a bald eagle, and the sunset was beautiful. Captain and naturalist were informative.

We hoped to book the shelling cruise but it was sold out so we opted for the morning dolphin cruise. The staff were courteous, accommodating and knowledgeable and the boat was spotless. We are locals so seeing the dolphins was no big deal to us- we just wanted a fun day out on the water. We did see dolphins along...

We started off with 50 min boat ride out to Captiva Island, then spent about 90 minutes scouring the shoreline for sea shells. It was beautiful. They then...

We took the 10 a.m. dolphin and wildlife cruise. Our captain and his first mate were very knowledgeable and made the trip very comfortable. We were lucky and saw quite a few dolphins that day, lots of birds and a bald eagle's nest on one of the little islands! I would definitely do this trip again ....

We took the Shelling Cruise with Mark and Jim on October 18. They were very knowledgeable and entertaining. The dolphins were being somewhat shy this day, but Mark and Jim did their best to locate some for us. Thank you for a lovely trip.

Took the morning Dolphin tour with Evan and Glen. Saw plenty of dolphins, seabirds and two bald eagles in their island nest. Great narration, really friendly attitude, and obviously enjoy what they do. Highly recommended.
